Documentation & API Specification
Welcome to the comprehensive interface for the Rotowire API Client!
This package provides a seamless integration with the Rotowire API, allowing developers to fetch sports data with ease. It's been refactored and optimized to provide a straightforward experience. It is derived in part from the Rotowire API using Open API v3 Open API Generator.
🚨 Disclaimer
While this package provides comprehensive access to the Rotowire API, due to the vastness and complexity of the APIs, not all use cases have been exhaustively tested or verified. Users are encouraged to test the package in their specific contexts and report any issues they encounter. Contributions and feedback are always welcome!
- Full Coverage: This package offers complete access to the Rotowire API. No more partial implementations or missing features.
- Optimized for Use: The refactoring ensures that accessing and using the API is as intuitive and straightforward as possible.
- Full documentation: See full documentation of the API Specification.

npm install rotowire-api-client --save
Here's a minimal example to get you started:
import { RotowireApiClientModule } from "rotowire-api-client";
@Module({
imports: [
RotowireApiClientModule.forRoot({
apiKey: process.env.ROTOWIRE_API_KEY,
basePath: process.env.ROTOWIRE_BASE_PATH,
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
Create a .env
file in your project root:
ROTOWIRE_API_KEY=your_rotowire_api_key
ROTOWIRE_BASE_PATH=https://api.rotowire.com/v1
To begin, you'll need your Rotowire API key.
You can configure the RotowireApiClientModule synchronously using the forRoot method:
import { RotowireApiClientModule } from "rotowire-api-client";
@Module({
imports: [
RotowireApiClientModule.forRoot({
mlb: {
apiKey: "YOUR_MLB_API_KEY",
basePath: "YOUR_MLB_BASE_PATH",
},
nba: {
apiKey: "YOUR_NBA_API_KEY",
basePath: "YOUR_NBA_BASE_PATH",
},
nfl: {
apiKey: "YOUR_NFL_API_KEY",
basePath: "YOUR_NFL_BASE_PATH",
},
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
If you're using NestJS's ConfigModule and ConfigService to manage your application's configuration, you can configure the RotowireApiClientModule asynchronously:
import { RotowireApiClientModule } from "rotowire-api-client";
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from "@nestjs/config";
@Module({
imports: [
ConfigModule.forRoot(),
RotowireApiClientModule.forRootAsync({
imports: [ConfigModule],
useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) => ({
mlb: {
apiKey: configService.get<string>("MLB_API_KEY"),
basePath: configService.get<string>("MLB_BASE_PATH"),
},
nba: {
apiKey: configService.get<string>("NBA_API_KEY"),
basePath: configService.get<string>("NBA_BASE_PATH"),
},
nfl: {
apiKey: configService.get<string>("NFL_API_KEY"),
basePath: configService.get<string>("NFL_BASE_PATH"),
},
}),
inject: [ConfigService],
}),
],
exports: [RotowireApiClientModule],
})
export class AppModule {}
After configuration, you can import RotowireApiClientModule
into your module, then import the appropriate API and inject the service into your services or controllers. Here is an example accessing some of the Rotowire API endpoints in a controller:
import { Controller, Get, HttpException, HttpStatus } from "@nestjs/common";
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import { catchError, map } from "rxjs/operators";
import { RotowireApi } from "rotowire-api-client";
@Controller("rotowire")
export class RotowireController {
constructor(
private readonly rotowireService: RotowireApi.DefaultRotowireApiService
) {}
@Get("news")
getNews(): Observable<any> {
return this.rotowireService.getNews().pipe(
map((apiResponse) => {
if (apiResponse.status !== 200) {
throw new HttpException(apiResponse.data, apiResponse.status);
}
return apiResponse.data;
}),
catchError((err) => {
throw new HttpException(err.message, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
})
);
}
}
For a non-NestJS implementation, you can directly use the services provided by the package.
import { DefaultRotowireApiService } from "rotowire-api-client";
const config = {
apiKey: "YOUR_ROTOWIRE_API_KEY",
basePath: "https://api.rotowire.com/v1",
};
const rotowireService = new DefaultRotowireApiService(config);
// Use rotowireService to access all the Rotowire endpoint APIs
- Easy Initialization: Set up and start using the client in no time.
- Comprehensive API Access: Access every aspect of the Rotowire API.
- Efficient Error Handling: Built-in logging and error handling mechanisms for smoother development.
- Regular Updates: Stay in sync with the official Rotowire API.
- TypeScript Support: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions.
The package provides comprehensive TypeScript types and interfaces for all API responses. Here's an example of how to use them:
import { RotowireApi, RotowireApiTypes } from "rotowire-api-client";
@Controller("rotowire")
export class RotowireController {
constructor(
private readonly rotowireService: RotowireApi.DefaultRotowireApiService
) {}
@Get("news")
getNews(): Observable<RotowireApiTypes.NewsResponse> {
return this.rotowireService
.getNews()
.pipe(map((apiResponse) => apiResponse.data));
}
}
The package includes built-in error handling and rate limiting support:
import { HttpException, HttpStatus } from "@nestjs/common";
import { catchError, retry } from "rxjs/operators";
@Controller("rotowire")
export class RotowireController {
@Get("data")
getData() {
return this.rotowireService.someEndpoint().pipe(
retry(3), // Retry failed requests up to 3 times
catchError((err) => {
if (err.response?.status === 429) {
throw new HttpException(
"Rate limit exceeded",
HttpStatus.TOO_MANY_REQUESTS
);
}
throw new HttpException(err.message, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
})
);
}
}
Common issues and their solutions:
-
API Key Issues
- Ensure your API key is correctly set in your environment variables
- Check if your API key has the necessary permissions
- Verify the API key is active and not expired
-
Rate Limiting
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
- Cache frequently accessed data
- Monitor your API usage
-
Type Errors
- Make sure you're using the correct type imports
- Check the API documentation for the expected response types
- Use TypeScript's type inference to help catch errors early
